Commercial Description:
Oskar Blues has released a special draft-only seasonal beer for the winter months. Ten FIDY Imperial stout is a titanic wonder of a stout, immensely viscous, and loaded with neck-deep flavors of chocolate, malt, coffee, cocoa and oats. It’s the beer equivalent of decadently rich milkshake made with Whoppers malted-milk balls and Heaven’s best chocolate ice cream. Ten FIDY is about 10% ABV and is made with enormous amounts of two-row malts, chocolate malts, roasted barley, flaked oats and hops. Ten FIDY’s huge-but-comforting flavors hide a whopping 98 IBUs that are deftly tucked underneath the beer’s mountains of malty goodness.

Also affectionately known as Ten W FIDY (i.e., 10W-50).

Editor's Note: The brewery has had the ABV tested at a lab, which came out to 9.4%.

An Imperial Stout that comes in a can. An Imperial Stout that comes in a can. An Amazing Imperial Stout that comes in a can. I am floored by: (1) How good this beer is. Chocolate, coffee, deep roasted malts, licorice, smoke and chicory all show up in this fucking brilliant brew. (2) That this beer is in a can. A CAN! PBR comes in a CAN! Bud Light comes in a CAN!

12 0z Bottle via Captaincougar (thanks). Pours thick thick black with a large brown head. Very nice aroma..pure Mocha. Ummm, ok i have a new favorite. Wow this is hard to put into words. It is everything you exprect from a great Imp Stout without any of the typical negatives. Purfect amount of roastiness, chocolate, coffee, vanilla...a little bit of licorice. I swear i even detect some hazlenut and almonds in there somewhere. Medium carbonation. Full body, thick chewy mouthfeel. Awesome Awesome Awesome.

Draft at Max’s Baltimore. Opaque chocolate with a two-finger, lasting and creamy head. Aroma is a beautiful mix of cocoa, caramel, espresso, dried wood, pure vanilla, smoke, and dried herbs. Flavor is awesome and pretty much the same as the aroma, except blended so well that you can get carried away with this one - dangerously chuggable. Heavy body is so smooth its ridiculous, has some tingle and just enough dryness on the finish.

2007 Boulder Strong Ale Fest: Black w/dark-tan head. Very inviting nose ... classic impy stout. Super rich texture. Flavors and aromas were bold and intense from start to finish. Chocolate blast everywhere. Tons of hop flavors and aromas, yet it was amazingly balanced. Healthy bitterness to boot, with a drying finish. Wonderful, wonderful beer. This was the highlight of the festival, for me. RERATE, can: Just and rich and rewarding. Complex, with dark chocolate, charcoal, licorice, caramel, tar, ... I love it.
